On deadline day, the Timberwolves bolstered their second unit by acquiring Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu, along with young wing Julian Phillips. Going to Chicago in the trade are Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second-round picks.
Miller and Dillingham were never going to be able to crack Minnesota's rotation, let alone play playoff minutes. Dosunmu gives the Timberwolves a guy who will no doubt be a playoff player and a consistent guy off the bench (which the Wolves have severely lacked).
Why he is a better fit than Coby White
Coby White might be a better overall player, but for what the Wolves need, it's hard to beat the dollar-to-production value that Dosunmu brings.
